SLB 48 comes from grapes from various quality vineyards in the Arco de São Jorge area.

Vinification:

Grapes pressed in a pneumatic press. Fermentation interrupted by the addition of wine alcohol (96%).

Malvasia aged in Canteiro for 5 years in French oak casks. For this batch, we selected wines from our warehouses, whose stable temperatures throughout the year resulted in this wine with balanced levels of sugar and acidity.

This wine was aged in barrels and bottled in its purest state.

Excellent as a digestif. Pairs well with dessert, cheeses, caramel pudding, passion fruit, and crystallized fruit.

It should be kept in a dry and airy place. The wine has been filtered, does not require decanting, and remains in good condition for several months after opening.

Vinhos Barbeito

In the early years our company concentrated its efforts in the production of bottled wine. New concepts of marketing in the Madeira wine business were introduced as well as innovative packaging like the wickered flagon. The quality of our wines gained an excellent reputation among consumers which helped to strenghten Barbeito’s image in the international market. In 1991 another important change occurred in our company: for first time someone from our family became responsible for the making of the wine. In 1993, after two years learning the “secrets” of our wines’ style and character as well as studying modern techniques of wine making, Ricardo Freitas faced alone his first grape harvest. Thinking of the future, we began building a working team in which all members work under the same motto: produce good quality wines with a unique style.

Since then Vinhos Barbeito never stopped investing in the purchase of good quality grapes to make fine wines. To achieve that goal, year after year, we work to establish closer relationships with farmers.
